¶1.  (U)  On January 4, 2006 at approximately 1900 an 
attempted break-in of an embassy residence was prevented by 
the Local Guard Force (LGF) Mobile Patrol. The Local Guard 
Force (LGF) was alerted by a phone call to the embassy 
reporting a suspicious person loitering near an embassy 
residence. The LGF notified the Mobile Patrol, RSO and called 
the local police. 
¶2. (U) Upon the LGF Mobile Patrol's arrival, the perpetrator 
was observed attempting to climb over the residence wall. The 
perpetrator fled the scene and was detained by the Djiboutian 
Police who responded to the residence. The individual 
appeared to be a vagrant and was taken into custody by police 
without incident. 
 
¶3. (U) Post has specifically addressed the recent increase in 
crime and the vital role residential guards play in 
protecting U.S. Government employees in Djibouti. This 
incident is further evidence of the vulnerability of Post's 
residences and the reality of service in this poor and high 
terror-threat nation in the Horn of Africa. 
 
¶4. (U) Point of contact is Acting RSO Michael Fogarty at
